What do they do? A) Bask in the glory of all the free time while barely having enough to eat B) Work together to find an equitable balance of labour and capital C) Kill the owners of the robot overlords

AI is iterating rapidly and will possibly be able to replace many jobs that currently require human intelligence. All that’s left is manual labour but the owners of the robot overlords have a surplus of labourers so wages are very low. Most people have a lot of free time and no money.

Serious Question: We live in a world in increasing wealth inequality and therefore everything is becoming zero sum resulting in massive political polarization. The vast majority of the wealth being generated by AI is going to the very top.

An editor from The Globe reached out to my dad to write this obit a little while ago and bc my dad is a capitalist he asked about remuneration. $300, said the editor but you don’t get it until the person dies. Dad: What if I die first? Pregnant pause E: no one has ever asked that. 😂

Immaculate day.

The transit system in Ottawa really does live up to the hype. It has exceeded my expectations for just how unbelievably bad transit can be in a capital city of more than a million people.
